Full disclosure. I pay $176 monthly for Verizon. 2 Lines. $40 access per line. $64 for my plan. Plus some taxes.
I'm considering 2 options. The first is what I actually want to do.
1. ProjectFi would cost around $135 a month w/ 2 new 6Ps. Would be paying for the phones for 24 months. It drops by $50 if I pay the phones off. No contract. Ability to answer my calls on any device, etc. However, 6P isn't the newest thing (tm) anymore and has had some stability concerns in how much of a beating these phones can take. I still love the phone though and at 128GB my wife wouldn't have to worry about storage shooting video of our daughter every other week.
2. Renew Verizon. Despite the fact that my 2year contract isn't up until April. They are offering a device plan where my bill basically goes from $176 monthly to $187 monthly. The shift in price barely makes any sense since I wouldn't be putting much down for the phone at all (not like a normal 2 year contract renewal). The reason it doesn't cost more is that my line access shifts from $40 to $20 for some unknown reason (project fi pressure?). So it becomes 33+33+20+20+64+tax/warranty. What makes this deal interesting though is not the fact that I can switch without much of a price shift and within a contract, but also because they are doing a 2 for 1 deal on the 7 Edge. Which means they will also send me a Visa pre-paid for $792. Additionally they are adding some plan where I can yearly upgrade Galaxy phones as long as I've paid 50% off. Which basically means I only ever need to pay 50% of the phones entire cost.
So here is what I'm looking for advice on. Whether to support Google on ProjectFi regardless because it is the change that I want to see. And also whether I am missing any fineprint or something completely daft on Verizon's current deals.
